It was a big day in the history of new Major League Soccer franchise Minnesota United FC as they hosted their first-ever home game in the league. And fittingly enough for the team in the North Star State, it was snowing.
Check out these scenes as Atlanta United, another expansion franchise, came to town for a match on Sunday, with the snow coming down pretty hard and temperatures in the teens.
